The Pioneer notifies us that as soon
as it joins the Salvation Army, it pro-
poses to march over to the ARGUS
Office and labor for our conversion.
Glad to hear it. But don't wait until
you join the army, come at once, and
we will, so to speak, kill the fatted
calf, and have a regular jubilee.

it may convert itself-miracles some

Another section of the liquor law
has arrived in the city, and last Sun
day it was enforced, as far as we were
able to observe. A few days previous
Mashal Westrope and Prosecuting
Attorney Mcnamara visited each sa-
loon and informed the proprietors of
the provisions of the law, and that it
was their intention to see that it was
complied with. The result was that,
on Sunday last, all the saloons had the
blinds on their windows raised. The
object of the. law, in requiring curtains,
ETC., to be raised on Sunday, is so an
unobstructed view can be had of the
bar, by the official from the street, in
order to see if there is any one in the
saloon. Some of the saloons have in
ner partitions, and if any of these OBJ
structions prevent full view of the
bar room from the street, the proprie-
tor, under the provisions of the law,
is liable to arrest. The law is very
plain and emphatic on that point.

Proper Bible Wine.

Alfred Speer, who has large Vineyards in
Passalc, N. j., is extensively engaged In
preserving Untermented Grape juice from
the Oporto Grapes and supplies 1t TO many
religious societies for Communion pur-
poses. The following Is from DR.. John
Ellis, who has written several works on
Bible wine "The writer obtained from
Mr.. Speer bottle OF his Unfermented
Wine and found 1t very pleasant and
nutritious wine. A chemist put portion
into retort and distilled and condensed
about one-third of the contents Of the re-
tort The distilled had neither the smell
nor the taste of alcohol, nor did chemical
tests indicate any trace OF alcohol"

The White Slaves.

New YoRK.-Thanksgiving. Ser
vices and sermons in all the churches,
the great annual turkey feast, brass
bands, and great retinues Of capering
small boys, matinees in all the thea
tiers, and the same doors open at night
to receive 10000 to 10000 people,
made Thanksgiving, indeed, probably
as happy Thanksgiving every way as
New York ever saw. But the other
side. Yes, there is another side, and,
alas anything but a cheerful one.
The N. Y. Sun has been publishing
articles on "Gotham's White Slaves"
They describe the condition of the
sewing women of New York, many
thousands in number, who hover at
the point of starvation all the year
round. What kind Of a Thanksgiv-
ing is it with these Certainly far
from happy one. ! doubt if many
of them were at church or had even a
flavor, not to speak of feast, Of tur-
key at dinner, or were seen in the
theaters at night. The black slaves
often had hard time, but these white
slaves never have any other kind.
Two things the black always was sure
of-substantial food and good lodging.
These serfs of the shop have neither
the one or the other. How can they
on earnings which average three dol
lars week This is all that thous-
ands of them can make, working in
many cases from daylight till 8 or 10
o'clock at night. They include girls
who must provide for themselves,
wives with sick or worthless husbands,
and widows with young and helpless
children. All ages, from 16 to 60,
may be found among them, but there
is only one condition-pinching pow
erty, with a spector Of starvation al
ways near. Their work is chiefly on
the cheapest kind of clothing in the
cheap stores-clothing for women and
children as well for men. We hear
a great deal nowadays about the won
derful low prices for which clothing
can be bought, but not many of us
stop to think upon one cause, at least,
of the cheapness. ! do not mean
mems clothing only, but the innumer-
able things made for women and chill
dren. Three dollars a week, some
times only so, rarely more than 81
for making up these garments of all
kinds, toiling over them all day long,
and often far in the night, with weary
hands and heavy eyes and frequently
a craving for food that cannot be OBJ
tanned. The pauper labor of Europe,
indeed Alas, we have plenty of pau
per labor, even of starvation labor, at
our own door The big tenements
swarm with it, and the total increases
every year. The women and girls
who work, work, work for three dol
lars a week are twice as numerous
now as they were twenty years ago.
What is this Thanksgiving Day or
any other Thanksgiving Day to them?
What is life itself but want and
wretchedness from beginning to end ?
